"Controversy"

edit

This article tells: "The controversy was revived in the New York Times Book Review fifty years later, when Stephen Suleyman Schwartz accused Eitingon of being a key figure in a group of Soviet agents who conducted assassinations in Europe and Mexico.[7] However, the essay drew a blistering, lengthy response from historian Theodore Draper, an acquaintance of Eitingon's relatives in the United States, who argued in The New York Review of Books that Schwartz had defamed Max Eitingon by mistaking him for the brother of a Leonid Eitingon associated with the Soviet KGB"

This is not so per sources: [1],[2], [3]. Key point: that was not claim by Schwartz. Schwartz only summarized content from books by Dr. John J. Dziak, Vitaly Rapoport and Yury Alexeev. My very best wishes (talk) 05:21, 14 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
